After a very smooth visa run, it was time for Songkran… the annual countrywide water fight to celebrate the Thai New Year.

While Jen was unfortunately teaching a course, they did manage to finish early and I made my way down to the resort, managing to avoid the multitude of water hoses, buckets, and pistols and arrived completely bone dry 🙂

After a couple of hours at the dive school which was like a ghost town, we ventured down to Sairee Village, where all the action was happening..

We ended up at Maya Bar, where they had built a big water slide from the decking of the bar down to the beach. I managed to give myself a nice whiplash by slipping on it and smacking the back of my head on the slide… doh!!

Carsten had a unique way of dealing with the water pistols… by wearing his rash vest and mask… he looked like a gimp… very amusing..

After trying to find somewhere that was serving food… and eating probably the worst thai food ever… Jen and I sneaked off home.. worn out… and it was only 9:30.!!

Last night, Jen had a girls night in with some of her friends… Turfed out on to the streets, I made my down to the bar and ended up having dinner with a few friends… till closing time… Jen was watching tv, gossiping and doing face masks etc… oh what a sight to behold…
